NOVEMBER 4 ELECTION DAY
Bay Area Chapter
Rape is one of the
fastest growing crimes
in America.
As Susan Brownmiller* points out in her monumental
study of the subject, rape is an inherent characteristic of a
society based on "men's natural superiority over women."
Not only is this evidenced by an analysis of the historical,
mythological, and legal annals of rape, but all the research
on rapists shows that rape is not the product of sexual
desire or lust but of aggression against women. The typical
rapist is a hostile man with dL»ep-seated ieeiings of anger
and resentment against women.19
Guest Panel-
Members of Congress continue to perpetrate the falsehood^
that pregnancy cannot result from rape. Arguing in June 1977
against allowiny federal funds to provide abortions for rape victims. Sen. Jesse Helms (D-NC) said: "An exception clause to
provide for abortion in the case of rape is both unnecessary and
unenforceable. As a practical matter, the problem does not
exist."
